U.S. Market Neutral Anti-Beta Fund
The Fund seeks performance results that correspond to the price and yield performance, before fees
and expenses of the Dow Jones U.S. Thematic Market Neutral Anti-Beta Index. The target index,
which is compiled by Dow Jones Indexes, is equal weighted, dollar neutral, sector neutral and is not
levered. The index rebalances monthly by identifying the lowest beta stocks as long positions and
highest beta stocks as short positions, of approximately equal dollar amounts, within each sector.
The Exchange Traded Fund provides investors with the means of seeking the spread return between
low and high beta stocks. Low beta stocks are those stocks that are less volatile than the market
index, and high beta stocks are those stocks that are more volatile than the market index.
Anti-beta investing entails investing in securities that have below-average betas and shorting
securities that have above-average betas. The performance of the Fund will depend on the
differences in the rates of return of these long positions and short positions.

What are Spread Returns?
Our market neutral ETFs seek to generate positive returns when after expenses, the basket of approximately 200 names that the fund buys (long
positions) outperforms the basket of approximately 200 names that we sell (short positions). Our ETFs combine bullish and bearish positions
within one ETF. The spread return generated between the buys and sells is what is important, not the absolute return of the market.
If the long positions rise more than the short positions the ETFs will generate positive returns. Additionally, if the long positions fall less than the
short positions the spread return will be positive. Therefore, regardless of the direction of the overall stock market, up, down or sideways, as long
as the long positions outperform the short positions the Fund will have a positive return. Alternatively, the fund will have a negative return when
the long positions underperform the short positions regardless of the direction of the market.
Before investing you should carefully consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other
information is in the prospectus which can be obtained by visiting www.quant-shares.com. Please read the prospectuses carefully
before you invest.
Risks: There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its objective. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There is a risk
that during a "bull" market, when most equity securities and long only ETFs are increasing in value, the Fund's short positions will likely cause the
Fund to underperform the overall U.S. equity market and such ETFs. There is a risk that the present and future volatility of a security, relative to
the market index, will not be the same as it has historically been and thus that the Fund will not be invested in low beta securities. In addition, the
Fund may be more volatile than the universe since it will have short exposure to the most volatile stocks in the universe and long exposure to the
least volatile stocks in the universe. The value of an investment in the Fund may fall, sometimes sharply, and you could lose money by investing
in the fund. The Fund may utilize derivatives and as a result, the Fund could lose more that the amount it invests. When utilizing short selling the
amount the Fund could lose on a short sale is potentially unlimited because there is no limit on the price a shorted security might attain. For
further risk information, please read the prospectus
Shares are not individually redeemable and can be redeemed only in Creation Units. The market price of shares can be at, below or above the
NAV. Market Price returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00PM Eastern time (when NAV is normally determined), and do
not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Fund returns assume that dividends and capital gains
distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV. Some performance results reflect expense subsidies and waivers in effect during certain
periods. Absent these waivers, results would have been less favorable.
Beta is a measure of an asset's sensitivity to an underlying index. Long is purchasing a stock with the expectation that it is going to rise in value.
Short is selling stock with the expectation of profiting by buying it back later at a lower price. Spread Return is the return earned between the
long and short portfolios within each ETF. Price to earnings ratio is a valuation of a company's share price compared to its per-share earnings.
Price to book is a ratio that compares a stocks book value to its market value. S&P 500 is an index of 500 large cap common stocks actively
traded on the NYSE and NASDAQ.
The owners of Shares may purchase or redeem Shares from the Fund in Creation Units only, and the purchase and sale price of individual
Shares trading on an Exchange may be below, at, or above the most recently calculated NAV for such shares.
